June is Dairy Month, and I wanted to celebrate by introducing you guys to my favorite breed of cow, the Jersey.
I love having Jersey cows here on my farm.
Jerseys have a lot of great things going for them.
They have higher butterfat and protein in their milk, which makes for a higher yield when you're making cheese or butter.
They're also a really sustainable breed.
They're soft on the environment by producing less manure, needing less water and less land to live.
They're also incredible grazers.
They can tolerate the hot summers here in Wisconsin.
And overall, I just really love their disposition.
They each have their own personalities and a different something that they bring to my farm and to my family.
And they're just beautiful cows.
Well, I hope you'll celebrate June Dairy Month and gather with us, Around the Farm Table.
I'm your host, Inga Witscher.
